Flintec Managing Director David Weeks said: “We probably sell more load cells to truck scales and weigh-bridge manufacturers than any other company in the world.

“Increasing numbers of weigh-bridge manufacturers are coming to us because of the accuracy, longevity and consistency of our compression load cells.

“Their lead times are getting shorter. Other manufacturers struggle to meet those lead times but we can supply direct from stock.”

Global force measurement experts at Flintec have decades of experience in the field, having started out in the design and manufacture of weigh-bridges.

Flintec invented modern compression load cells and continues to be at the forefront of innovation in this field. Its tried and tested RC1 load cells remain popular, despite being superseded by newer designs such as the RC3 and its digital version, the RC3D.

All three compression load cells are designed for high accuracy applications such as truck and railway scales; tank and silo weighing and ultra-high capacity industrial scales.

They feature side force compensation and are back-filled with dry nitrogen for prolonged accuracy. Rugged stainless steel construction, welding and glass-to-metal sealing protect them in the toughest environments:
